Ricardo Bruno


Ricardo BRUNO joined the Haiti Teen Challenge program in 2012. He is part of the second cohort recruited by the men’s center. A graduate in Civil Engineering Technology, he also completed training in logistics and close protection—opportunities made possible through HTC’s financial support.


It was during his time in the program that he had the life-changing opportunity to accept Christ as his Savior and Lord. He was baptized at Rendez-vous Christ Church in 2013. A father of three children, including one son, Ricardo, he has been married for ten (10) years.

He joined the Haiti Teen Challenge team in 2015 as a driver-messenger, a role he held for ten (10) years. Today, he serves as Head of Security at Défi Jeunesse d’Haïti, a department he personally founded and led for five (5) years.


A committed Christian, Bruno believes that God has a plan to raise Haiti from its ashes. He is deeply convinced that he will be among those the Almighty will use to accomplish this work.
